Recharging a borewell with rainwater is an effective way to replenish groundwater levels and improve the sustainability of water resources. Below are the steps to recharge a borewell using rainwater harvesting techniques: 1. Assess Borewell Feasibility for Recharge 2. Design a Rainwater Harvesting System 3. Filter the Rainwater 4. Create a Recharge Pit or Trench […]

Reboring an existing water borewell can help restore or increase the water yield if the original borewell has dried up or is underperforming. Here are the steps to follow while reboring an existing water borewell: 1. Preliminary Assessment 2. Choose a Suitable Reboring Method 3. Site Preparation 4. Borewell Casing Inspection 5. Start the Reboring […]

Maintaining borewell water quality is crucial for ensuring safe and clean water for consumption or other uses. Here are the key steps to follow: 1. Regular Water Testing 2. Sanitize the Borewell 3. Seal the Borewell Properly 4. Install a Filtration System 5. Prevent Contamination Sources 6. Periodic Flushing 7. Protect the Borewell Casing 8. […]

Reducing borewell water salinity can improve its quality for drinking, irrigation, and other uses. Here are several methods to address and reduce salinity in borewell water: 1. Reverse Osmosis (RO) System 2. Electrodialysis 3. Capacitive Deionization (CDI) 4. Distillation 5. Dilution with Freshwater 6. Rainwater Harvesting and Groundwater Recharge 7. Ion Exchange 8. Solar Desalination […]

To calculate the borewell capacity, follow these steps: 1. Measure Borewell Dimensions 2. Determine Static Water Level (SWL) 3. Calculate Water Column Height 4. Volume of Water in Borewell 5. Pumping Test for Yield 6. Calculate Borewell Capacity By following these steps, you can determine both the static volume of water available in the borewell […]

Reboring a borewell involves cleaning, deepening, or re-drilling an existing borewell to improve water yield or to restore functionality. The process requires careful planning and execution to ensure safety and effectiveness. Here are the steps involved in reboring a borewell: Steps for Reboring a Borewell Safety and Environmental Considerations Reboring a borewell is a complex […]

Water is essential for life on Earth and plays a critical role in various aspects of the environment, human health, and society. Here are some key points highlighting the importance of water: Biological Importance Environmental Importance Social and Economic Importance Cultural and Aesthetic Importance Borewell water, sourced from underground aquifers through drilled boreholes, is a […]

Closing boreholes, also known as well abandonment or decommissioning, is a process that ensures that unused or dry wells do not become a hazard to the environment or public health. Here are the steps to properly close a borehole: Steps to Close Boreholes Safety and Environmental Considerations By following these steps, you can ensure that […]

Deep borewells, also known as deep water wells or boreholes, can offer several benefits depending on the context and purpose. Here are some potential advantages: 2. Increased Water Supply: Deeper wells can tap into larger and more productive aquifers, providing a greater and more consistent water supply. This is particularly important in areas facing water […]

If you are planning to dig a borewell in Bangalore, it is important to understand the regulations and obtain the necessary permissions. Under the Karnataka Ground Water (Regulation and Control of Development and Management) Act, 2011, andRules, 2012, it is mandatory to apply for a permit to dig new borewells. Additionally, existing borewells and drilling […]

There are general 2 main types of bore wells that are distinguished by the diameter of the bore hole. They are commonly known as bore well and bore hole. Bore wells are constructed when low yielding ground water sources are found close to the surface, that is, usually lesser than 30 meters. They are also […]

In India, the geological department or the Central Ground Water Board should be contacted as and when the proposal for deep tube wells is made. Generally, if the normal water table is at a greater depth it would be economical as well as preferable to install a deep tube well instead of an open well. […]

Bore wells have always been a primary source of water in India for many decades. In areas that it is very difficult or not economic to transfer portable water, bore wells act as a sustainable source of water. Bore wells go deep into the earth such that the pipes that are laid out for drawing […]

In an aquifer is of slits and sands, the bore well is generally provided with a filter pack. However if an aquifer has gravelly sands, gravel grains of size to which 10 percent of the formation material is fine or sandy gravel the gravel pack is not provided with and such wells can be naturally […]

What is bore well water? Bore water which is also commonly known as ground water is amongst the most common source of water that is used in India. This bare well water is generally rainwater that gets absorbed by the ground and seeps into the layers of earth. It gets trapped within the layers of […]

Water demand for an increasing population has to be met from a suitable source. This source should be able to suffice the requirements in term of quantity as well as quality of water. The usual sources for supply of water such as rivers, lakes, ponds and canals have their own arrangement of collecting water that […]
